Oral-B Professional 5000 Electric Toothbrush Review

Rechargeable and user friendly

Oral-B Professional 5000 is an ergonomic rechargeable electric toothbrush that provides a wide range of user friendly features. Equipped with a waterproof easy-to-clean handle, battery charge display and five brushing modes, Oral-B Profession 5000 is a state of the art toothbrush. When fully charged, the toothbrush can be used for up to ten days. Inspired by the round shape of professional dental care tools, the brush head is designed for individual tooth cleaning, being able to remove up to 99.7% of the plaque from hard to reach areas.

Cutting edge technology

Oral-B Professional 5000 presents itself as a state of the art dental care tool. The toothbrush uses 40.000 pulsating movements per minute, up to 50% more brush movements than any other regular brushes. Oral-B 5000 also features a pressure sensor that enables the user to fully control the brushing intensity, as brushing too hard may result in damaging the brush head bristles and an inefficient cleaning.

Wireless SmartGuide for real-time guidance

The Oral-B Wireless SmartGuide gadget provides real time feedback directly from the toothbrush. The SmartGuide constantly provides information about the time spent brushing each quadrant, the Cleaning Mode that is being used and it even lights up if the user is brushing too hard. The individual gadget can be synchronized with any Oral-B 5000 toothbrush, but only two of them can be calibrated at the same time.

Customizable cleaning experience

Oral-B Professional 5000 is compatible with a wide range of Oral-B brush heads. The toothbrush also features five cleaning modes (Daily Clean, Deep Clean, Sensitive, Whitening, and Massage). Daily Clean and Deep clean modes provide a thorough high speed cleaning, while the Sensitive mode offers a lower speed cleaning. The Massage mode uses pulsating speed in order to provide a massage-like effect for the gums. The whitening mode alternates between different speeds providing a polishing effect on the tooth surface.

Strengths

Long battery life

When fully charged, the battery can last up to a week.

Ergonomic and easy to store

Oral-B Professional 5000 comes with a carrying case, preventing inadequate storing in various places.

Very user friendly

With a wide range of compatible brush heads, a SmartGuide gadget and different brushing modes, this toothbrush can surely be used by a wide range of customers.

Weaknesses

No dual voltage

Apparently, Oral-B only comes in the 110v version, which is quite ironic since it is a toothbrush meant for traveling but it can be solved by purchasing a dual voltage charger.

Quite loud

Oral-B 5000 is a powerful toothbrush indeed but a powerful motor means a noisy motor.

Thick handle

Ergonomically, it was not really made for small hands. Compared to other electric toothbrushes, Oral-B Professional 5000 has a quite thick handle.

Battery stops charging at some point

Even though it can last up to ten days with a full charge, on the long run the battery stars dying and eventually stops charging.

Overall review

All in all, Oral-B 5000 is a user friendly and efficient toothbrush that deservers its “Professional” title. The bad part is that on the long run the battery might die at one point.
